David

So a million years ago, in another life, I was a pastor.  One of the kids in the youth group was a young lad by the name of David.  He was a very special child who grew into a very special young man.  Today he is a professional counselor.  He is a young man of great faith and incredible insight and well, just a heart of gold.  A gentle soul.  David really spoke highly of Rob Bell.  David's recommendation of Bell was the first time I had heard the name.  For whatever reason though, I never even looked up the dude on the wikipedia.
Then last month a new friend of mine, also a person of great faith and incredible insight sent me a link to a Drops Like Stars.  That I would count the book as having been read is probably cheating.  And if I would have been on the edge of my yearly goal of books read, I wouldn't have counted it, but since I made the goal, I figured it was okay, because this was just a fantastic experience.  And if you can't watch the video or would rather read the book, whatever!  Just in some way, have a look at this.
I can't thank this new friend enough for sending this to me.  It came at the most perfect time and was balm for a soul that was hurting.
This Bell is really sharp.  There is so much here for anyone who has ever experienced life.  So yeah, for everyone.
Great.  Great.  Great.
